Case of the Travellers Union-An Import.
ant Decision Rendered.
WASHINGTON, July ia hearing was
given this morning by the Interstate
Commerce Commission in the matter of the
Traders and Travellers Union against the
Philadelphia and Reading and the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company. There was
substantial unanimity among the parties
to the case in desiring an authoritative
opinion from the Commission upon the
question of the right of railroad to recog-
nize the certificates Of the union, and carry
Tree for the holders of such certificates an
amount of baggage in excess of that so car
ried for other passengers. The decision OF
the Commission was reserved.
The Commission has decided that any
railroad lying wholly within one State, but
which makes rates and issues bills to
points in another State, is so far as that
traffic is concerned, subject to the proTis-
ions OF the Interstate law.
The Central Vermont railroad, on the
29th of June, gave notice Of an advance OF
freight rates, to take effect July5. Chaplin
Il Co., of Milwaukee, claimed under the
Interstate law the right to ten days no.
tice. Mr.. John Porteus, general manager,
in his reply said; ~ do not know of any
clause in the Interstate law requiring
ten days notice from Milwaukee to New
England points" Chaplin & Co. sent this
reply to the Interstate Commerce Com,
mission, and Mr.. Porteus has been inform,
ed by the Commission that the law does
require ten days notice, and it must be
complied with.

OIL Tank--Nine Bodies Recovered.
ST. THOMAS, ONT, July 16.-A terrible
accident occurred at the crossing of the
Grand Trunk and the Michigan Central
railways in this city about seven o'clock
this evening. An excursion train on the
Grand Trunk for Port Stanley ran into a
passing freight train on the Michigan Cen
tral, made up of number of
cars laden with oil. The engine
passed into one of these cars when the oil
took fire and burned with great fierceness
The hre extended 10 the cars on both
tracks and to Grifin's warehouse, coal and
lime sheds adjoining the track on the west,
and John Csmpbell's dwelling on the east,
all OF which were burned to the ground
with their contents. Engineer Donnelly,
OF the excursion train, was buried in the
wreck. His fireman jumped and escaped
with slight injuries. The forward car of
the excursion train was filled with pas
sengers who made frantic efforts to
escape, but Notwithstanding hundreds
of brave and willing hands were
Immediately at work to assist in their res
cue, it is feared number OF lives have
been lost and that they will be burned be-
yond recognition before their bodies can be
gotten out of the wreck.
At 8 O'Clock, when thousands of people
were crowding around the burning pile,
one OF the oil tanks on the cars suddenly
exploded, throwing hundreds to the ground
with great force and scattering fire in all
directions, and severely, perhaps fatally,
injuring many.
At $50 o'clock nine bodies were taken
out. They were burned to a crisp.

PHILADELPHIA, July 15.-General Mas
ter Workman 7. v. Powderly will print
the following in the Journal Of United La
b0r 10 be issued tomorrow, in reference to
the assertion in a number of newspapers
that the organization OF the Knights OF
Labor is breaking up:
We are breaking up as the ploughman
hreaks mp the soil for the sowing Of new
seed.
We are breaking up old traditions.
We are breaking up hereditary rights
and planting everywhere the seed OF uni
versal rights.
We are breaking up the idea that money
makes the man, and not moral worth.
We are breaking up the idea that might
makes right
We are breaking up the idea that legis-
lation is alone for the rich.
We are breaking up the idea that the
Congress of the United States must be run
by millionaires for the benefit of million
aires.
We are breaking up the idea that a few
men may hold millions of acres of utilized
land, while other men starye for want OF
an acre.
We are breaking up the practice of put
ting the labor of criminals into competi-
tion with honest labor and starving it to
death.
We are breaking up the practice of i'm
porting Ignorance. bred OF monarchies and
dynamite in order to depreciate intelligent,
skilled labor at home.
We are breaking up the practice of en-
ploying little children in factories, thus
breeding a race deformed, ignorant and
prohigate.
We are breaking up the idea that man
who works with his hands has need neither
OF education nor of civilizing refinement.
Weare breaking up the idea that the &C
Cident of sex puts One-half of the human
race beyond the pale of constitutional
rights.
We are breaking up the practice of pay
ing women one-third the wages paid men
simply because she is q woman.
We are breaking up the idea that man
may debauch an infant girl and shield
himself from the penalty behind law he
himself has made.
We are breaking up ignorance, intem-
perance, crime and oppression of whatever
character and wherever found.
Yes, the Knights of Labor are breaking
up and they will continue their appointed
work of ..breaking up until universal
rights shall prevail; and while they may
not bring in the millennium they will dc
their part in the evolution Of moral forces
that are working Tor the emancipation ol
The race.

The Council of wellsburg is enforcing
the blue Laws and closing up everything,
including even the ice cream saloons, on
Sundays. As a question of sxpedieney
this move is doubtful one. The
lovers Of ice-cresm, for instanee-and who
does not love the deliciously cooling dish
thus hot weather will all flock to Bril-
liant, just over the river, to spend their
money and innocently enjoy themselves,
while many worthy aud law abiding mer-
chants will be deprived of their best days
business. The motives actuating the
Wellsburg Council were Ofthe best, doubt
less, but the act can not be called a Just
one to the citizens, nor for the best inter

warning from New York and st. Louis.

The Cutting of Rates Contlnues-The Pub
lie Looks on and Smiles.
Houston, Ten, July l5.-The rate
war recently inaugurated among the rail,
roads comprising the Texas Traffic Asso-
citation still continues. 1t is given out by
prominent railroad officials located in this
city that further slashing of rates will be
INDUCED in during the next few days by
the belligerent lines.
The Houston, East and West Texas
Railway to-day issued a circular announc-
ing cut of p cents per 100 pounds on
lumber from all points on its line to CON-
mon points in Texas. The Houston and
Texas Central, in addition to the 20 per
cent. reduction on Houston and Galveston
rates, as announced yesterday, is cutting
still deeper.
The Texas grain rates have already ex-
perienced an average reduction of 30 per
cent. This was made necessary to protect
the Texas farmers against Kansas and
Missouri grain, which otherwise would be
brought into the State by the northern
lines. These rates will suffer another re-
duction in day or so if the Atchison, To
peks and Santa Fe and the Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe Railways do not restore the
old rates.

able assets were estimated to pay 10 per
cent ROSenfelds s relatives would put up
10 per cent, and enable the payment OF %
cents on the dollar in the settlement.
A large number of the members
have already signified their willing
ness to accept the % cents offered, but the
stock houses to the number Of six or seven
refused as they had already secured enough
property of the ROsenfelds TO net them %
per cent. of their claims, and amounted to
about 500, 600 A special committee COM
posed of Messrs. &. n. Culver, Alex. Ged-
des and J. w. Comes, was appointed to
confer with,the stockhouses and try and in
duce them to settle at % cents. Should

Conference of Railroad Men

CLEVELAND, July l5.-Au important
meeting Of lines interested in the Hooking
Valley aud Pittsburg coal fields was held
to-day in this city at the Lake Shore geu-
eral Office. Some time last winter an
agreement was made between these lines
and the lines concerned in the Indiana
and Illinois coal fields, fixing the rates
from each field to common distrib-
uting points. One of the points was
Chicago. Ii WAS agreed that
the rate from Indiana and Illinois fields
to Chicago should be 81 irom Hooking
Valley 81, from Pittsburg S2.23. The in
creased cost of coal delivered at railroad
cars at Indiana and Illinois gave Hooking
Valley lines, it was thought, sufficient
advantage to permit them TO compete with
these Western coal fields even at double
rates.
